Thrasher Foundation Repair Before & After Photos

These two homeowners wanted to fix their settled concrete to maintain their home's value. They chose Thrasher to get the job done because they liked our reps and how easy it is to work with us.

Sam Pretz went out to their home to look at the concrete and develop a solution. He noticed the garage floor had settled due to massive voids underneath it. Because of this, their concrete had begun to crack. 

To fix the issue, we used PolyLevel to lift the slab to its original position and then used NexusPro to repair and fill the cracks. The result? Revitalized concrete that increases their home value and reduces tripping hazards! 

Both of them were happy with how professional our crew was and how the garage looked when we were done.

Lawrence was passionate about the upkeep of his property. He started to notice some cracking in his driveway, which began to cause some concern that something worse could start to happen. Lawrence chose Thrasher because of the protection system we have to preserve his driveway and ensure there are no further problems. After inspecting the project, there was a void under the concrete which caused the slabs to strain and begin to crack. The joints were unsealed, allowing water to get under the concrete, causing weakened soil. 

For this project, we used the three-part concrete protection system. PolyLevel was used underneath the concrete to stabilize the area completely. NexusPro was used to seal all the joints and cracks to prevent water from getting under the concrete. The final part is SealantPro, which was used to seal the surface of the concrete and prevent future stains, pitting, or flaking. This system has a 5-year warranty, which Lawrence loved to hear. He can now rest assured that his driveway will not cause any more problems! 

Did you know having very heavy items in your home can cause your floors to sag? This is what happened to LeAnna's home. She had recently put in new tile and drywall, only to have it crack again. It was time to get to the bottom of it. She called Thrasher and we came out to find out what was really going on in this home. Jason White found the home had a very large crawl space without much support. Without that support, things like heavy furniture upstairs will make floors sag. 

It's an easy fix, though. We installed SmartJacks and supplemental beams in her crawl space to help fully support the floor and the weight. 

LeAnna was so happy with the results and that the crew was able to get the floor within 1/16" throughout her home.

Marcy just purchased her home and wanted to use her basement for storage without worrying about mold, mildew, or water damage. But she noticed water would leak into the basement frequently when it rained. Marcy also runs a daycare from home and wants to ensure her home is as safe as possible for the little kiddos. 

System Design Specialist, Nate Franson, got on-site to check out where the water was coming from. He found water would leak in multiple locations from the cold foundation joint, especially during heavy rains. It seemed the previous owners attempted to address wall support failure with weep holes along the bottom of the foundation wall, which only added to the water problem. On top of that, some of the foundation walls had stress cracks from the pressure, which would also leak at times. 

To keep the water out, we planned to install an entire perimeter of WaterGuard, full-height CleanSpace, and a lateral line. We tied into her existing sump and went around her current wall support with extended bottom brackets.

The result was great, and now Marcy won't have to deal with water in her basement anymore. 

Nick noticed a large crack above the door of his mother's house. He called Thrasher to maintain value and make sure his mom was safe in her home. Jon Graves went out to the home to find out what was happening. He found the garage had settled to the outside corner, causing a large crack above the door to open up. To fix this, we installed push piers. But then things got interesting.

When we did the lift, the result was excellent. The crack closed up, and everything looked good. However, the crew left, and when they came back the following day to finish up, they noticed a new crack behind the old crack had opened in a straight line down the mortar joint. This is something that can happen when lifting a home, especially brick. It doesn't happen often, but we always mention to the customer the possibility. Once we noticed the new crack, we instantly checked to ensure there was no settlement, and luckily, we found none. We then sealed the crack and blended the mortar to be less visible. Everything was good as new again!

Nick and his mom were excited that the crack had closed up. They were, at first, concerned about the new crack, but they felt more at ease that we immediately addressed it and fixed the issue. Their garage is stabilized and will not be moving anymore.
